Pairing guide
There’s no shortage of reasons to fall head over heels in love with this Pét Nat, but its food-friendliness and versatility surely sits high on the list. This classy sparkler is a fabulous bottle to pop open when smoked meats and fish are on the menu - everything from smoked salmon pasta dishes to smoky bacon quiche or smoked cheeses will be absolutely incredible here, and it’s also superb with simple seafood salads, sushi, green salads, picnic baguettes with jamon and plenty of butter, and any dish combining pork or chicken with apples and pears. Divine!
